National Development Plan
Dail Éireann — 2024-04-23
============================================================

Rose Conway-Walsh (SF), Mayo

I have raised the issue of capital expenditure with the Minister on many occasions. The NDP in 2021 set a target of 5% of GNI* to be invested in capital projects. The NDP states "the Government has decided to maintain the average level of investment in the new NDP at approximately 5 per cent of GNI* over the period 2021-2030". This has not happened in a single year since the NDP was published. On that basis, what is the cumulative underspend since 2021?
